I guess that gives new meaning to the old expression "a bad day of fishing beats a good day at work" I was seriously thinking about going to Grafton tomorrow but I think I'll wait
The problem lies in liability. They are afraid you might get hurt. You are soley responsable for your actions. I believe that this law covers everything and everybody that goes into the outdoors , especially hunters and fishermen. Back when this came about it was deer hunting on private lands that brought this about. Too many lawsuits made landowners post lands , in turn we had a boom in deer population. In turn there was more people killed or injured by deer than by hunting accidents. So the state enacted this : http://www.nysorva.org/documents/GenOblig9-103.htmI would hire a lawyer, show him this document, Make sure it means what I think it implies.Show him the safe guildlines of DEC, then make a example of the idiot that gave you the ticket in the first place.Get a paypal account. I'll donate the first ten bucks...
wow Jim, I would go to court on that ticket, I'm sure it's just local. Ticket will get thrown out but will have to pay court fee (processing) town's way to get extra $$$.
Too bad the morons in that photo couldn't suffer the same consequences as their "prey". Big men. Couple of f***n idiots. Photos like these certainly give radical groups like PETA plenty of fodder, and cause others to join in their pursuits.Pokermanp.s. that being said, its a shame that this country has become so over-regulated that we now have laws to protect people from themselves. Would have been nice if the officers gave some sort of friendly warning the first time and asked folks to leave.
Good luck. Lets have more personal accountability and less Socialism, I say.
Hey, this isn't Jim Flood formerly working for Ward Products in Amsterdam is it? Sorry to her your misfortune!!! My in-laws live just a short distance from there and I was thinking of going Sunday but after reading your post I bagged it! It's to bad that such a great fish has been over shadowed by the dark cloud of the law. Good luck in court!
I thought someone said the charges were dropped ? Then I guess the donation could be used to celebrate !
Unless it's changed recently (and I don't think it has) a court can NOT charge you the extra court charge on DEC violations! mike
all i see is a red x jflood
jflood they don't spawn anyway so don't worry about it! It's strictly a put and take fishery for the stocker trout in the lakes and ponds around here. Some of the stream fish do reproduce but rainbows can't reproduce in a lake or pond like Moreau, Trout or the lakes at Grafton. That's a nice bow by the way 8)
